Nope, I don't see a market. Almost 600 lbs of scooter is a bit too much, regardless of styling. Too bad, wish I could plug a Nevada company better....but I just don't see the point.

OH Jesus, I hope the a-holes I ride with NEVER see this. I will never hear the end of it without doing dental work on a couple of them.
Of all things un-cool this must take the cake for things done to Sportys.

Looks that way to me. This guy should move to Key West Florida, their real big on scooters down there. JMO but this guy is bringing disgrace to the Harley image and name.

Could you image an emergency stop on that thing? No tank to sqeeze, and the way that seat is designed you'd slide right off. Especially with someone behind you!!

What is even more of a give away is the Scoot"ster". If MoCo don't jump on that they are missing their calling.

I wouldn't want one but....
There are a lot of sporty's that don't get ridden, they are bought for wives that don't want to ride, too tall, rough to ride (older ones)
I can see where there is a market because the yapaneese bike companies build and sell a ton of the scooters, pretty good idea you can have the HD sound and motor and the scooter you wanted.
Medical reasons, age, mobility issues might put you in the wind on one of these vs sitting on the porch.
As long as you ride I dont' care what you ride. JMO

Skull, you have it backwards. It's creating a void where there never was one.
If they try to market it as a chick bike, I'm gonna have to ride over to Carson and kick some ass.
